What is a volcano
What is a volcano a vent in Earth’s crust through which molten rock flows.
100
Two blocks of rock slide horizontally past each other in opposite directions, Location: Transform Boundaries
What is Strike-slip
100
A type of seismic wave that causes particles in the ground to move up and down in a rolling motion.
What is Surface Wave
100
The location on Earth’s surface directly above an earthquake’s focus.
What is Epicenter
200
Which type of waves travel through solids and liquids?
What is P-Waves
200
Tiny particles of pulverized volcanic rock and glass.
What is volcanic ash
200
Forces push two blocks of rock together The block of rock above the fault move up relative to the block of rock below the fault, Location: Convergent plate boundaries
What is Reverse
200
Energy that travels as vibrations on and in Earth.

400
A location where volcanoes form far from plate boundaries.
What is Hot Spot
400
A large volcano with gentle slopes of basaltic lavas, common along divergent plate boundaries and oceanic hotspots.
What is shield volcano
400
Forces pull two blocks of rock apart The block of rock above the fault moved down relative to the block of rock below the fault, Location: Divergent plate boundaries
What is Normal
400
A type of seismic wave which causes particles in the ground to move in a push-pull motion similar to a coiled spring. These waves arrive first to a seismometer
What is primary wave???
400
An instrument that measures and records ground motion and can be used to determine the distance seismic waves travel.
What is seismometer
500
Magma that erupts onto Earth’s surface.
What is Lava
500
A large, steep-sided volcano that results from explosive eruptions of andesitic and rhyolitic lavas along convergent plate boundaries.
What is composite volcano
500
A crack or a fracture in Earth's lithosphere along with one block of rock moves toward, away from, or past another
